T 0 all whom itmag concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY O. MAMAUX, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Padded Rolls.

My invention relates to'padded rolls, and more particularly to padded ironing-machine rolls.

The usual ironing machine has a heated metal shoe which presses clothes and other fabricsto be ironed against the periphery of a padded rotating roll, having a mandrel on which the padding is. wound spirally. Attempts have been made to use as padding for ironing rolls what is known as cotton padding having strands or rovings of wt ton. These rovings have quite a large diameter, so that the padding containing them may be one-fourth of an inch or more thick. Thls padding is Wound around a central support or mandrel a plurality of turns, but

it has been impossible to prevent a ridge or bump extending lengthwise of the roll where the padding ends. Another object is to provide an ironing-machine roll having there on a padding which does not have suchv bump or ridge.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1, is an end view of a roll with the pad dingand cover; Fig. 2, a plan viewof a part of a padded roll with the cover omitted; Fig. 3, a plan view of a part of a fringed end of a' piece of padding; and Fig. 4, an end view of a fragment showing a modification.

0n the drawings 1 designates a mandrel on which the cotton padding 2 has been wound three turns, 3 designating the inner end of the padding and 4 the outer end. The padding comprises the parallel cotton rov- .mgs 5 and the groups of crossthreads 6 arranged approximately one-fourth of an inch apart though the distance may be somewhat more or less.

To prevent the formation of the ridge, rib or bump referred to herein, I provide one or both ends of the padding with a fringe 8 composed of the rovings which extend beyond the final cross or binding threadsfi. This fringe preferably extends beyond-the terminal warp or binder threads about an inch or an inch and a half, butit may be somewhat longer or shorter. V

In winding the padding on the mandrel the outer end of the padding preferably lies near the radial plane of the inner end.

Preferably, the free end of the frin e originally slightly overlies the inner en The fringe is very soft and yielding and necting them together, their outer ends forming a fringe overlying the inner end of the padding so as to form a joint flush with the periphery of the roll. I

2. An ironing machine roll having a mandrel, a covering for the mandrel comprising parallel rovings of cotton bound together and having both ends fringed, the

fringe at one end of the rovings overlying the fringe at the other end thereof.
